M-51 Isherman

I was thinking it just needed a bit of ............ red Hey how about you put a couple of those ranging poles , red and white and slide them in next to the pick ? I reckon it will really make the stowage pop !

I was thinking the same thing. Another thing I thought of was making the the bag hanging off the turret a first aid bag with a white circle and red cross.

Thanks Jenny!

Shalom Captain Jack.

That wold add a splash of colour. I'm doing somethng similar on some of my IDF tanks. I'm going to use a red Star of David insted of a red cross though. Echelon makes a set of decals with the Red star of David.

Cheers

Hey thanks for that bit of information about the red star. Sometimes I forget what country I'm modeling.

Thanks John! I'm running out of things to do. Almost time to start something new.

Hi Capt. Jack:

That looks great with the stowage and the weathering. Really great all around. And the commander is real nice peekin out of his hatch too.

Thanks Gary!!!

Well I'm gonna call this one done!!! Finished the headlights, tail lights, added some range poles for some color, and added the antennas. Thanks for all your comments and for following along.

Jack!

Shalom.

Congratulations! That is one sweet looking M-51 Super Sherman. I hope mine turns out even half as good. I really like the stowage on the rear deck.

Cheers

Geez , you rocked this build Jack , this is one mighty awesome finished Sherman ! I bet you are happy with it , I will be so happy if mine even comes close to as good as this quality .

Jenny

An absolutely superb build Sir

I can't fault it

Simon

I have to agree, that is just awesome! Adding the range poles was a good call, and now things are tied down the stowage is perfect IMO!

Very nice, this would not look out of place on the cover of a model mag I reckon. Congrats Cap'n!

Cheers

Thanks! Yeah I'm pretty happy with it, but there is always something to do things better. From what I've seen I have a ways to go before getting up to your level, but thank you for the kind words.
